Provocation: Key Themes in Computing the Human by N. Katherine Hayles

Other (Not Listed) Instructions:

A provocation is an activity that instigates a reaction from other students to the concepts in the assigned reading. It syntheses and translates the reading, with additional research on the topic, into a call to action in the class. Take a creative approach to trigger engagement with, and discussion of themes in the reading.
Don't summarise the reading. Make sure the provocations relate directly to the key themes in the readings. Note that a provocation is not a tutorial presentation. You can ask your tutor to help you during the class.

Provocation: Computing the Human Computing the Human- Provocation-N. Katherine Hayles 1. Questions to the Whole Class Time: 3 min When was the last time you used a virtual assistant, text recognition, image creation, or the iPhone camera tools? Did the experience elicit any thoughts on how advancing technology reconfigures human consciousness and cognition? Do you agree with Kurzweil that 100 years from now, AI robots will become indistinguishable from humans and that the enhanced abilities of these technologies will overcome our own skills?’ Do you think the robot is an artificial product replicating human capability or a machine that seeks to make work easier? 2. Writing Task Time-10 minutes Remember the experience you have had with advanced technologies and describe the emotional impact it invoked. Did the virtual reality experience make you visit the future or make you worry about an invasion of robots? Do you perceive any inferiority complex when it comes to documentaries or movies you have seen on robotics due to their enhanced abilities over the average human being? Fill in the below table by adding the ‘feeling’ that the corresponding technology gave you, and write a brief explanation of why this technology elicited that response.
